Yeah i booked two weeks after this years and i got pretty pants sailings but definitely go for it, totally epic times will be had! Book it as soon as you can i think its only a 10 quid deposit.

VTRdan - I'll look out for ya and give us a shout when were over there, don't worry about any problems with bikes they get sorted out quick, a mate i went with had his ducati 999 rear subframe and exhaust welded up by one of the electric bike teams mechanic so never short of people to help you out!

leanittiluloseit- To get the most of watching the racing i would say you have to move around and watch from different corners, there are some amazing places to watch where you are inches from bikes going 170+ mph with no fence or barrier. Granted the bikes whizz past but the experience of being there is fantastic and certain spots you see the bikes for a good while coming and going away from you.
Certainly watching and riding the course is a 50/50 thing of which is the best, definitely get a cheap radio so you know where the race is up to and when to expect the lead riders too.
